Purified preparations of Complex I (NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase) from bovine heart mitochondria may be resolved into 26 polypeptides by two-dimensional analysis combining isoelectric focusing and polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulphate. Similar analyses of the fragments obtained from chaotropic resolution of the enzyme show that each of these fragments contains a distinct and non-overlapping set of polypeptides. Evidence that the polypeptides seen in the intact enzyme are true constituents comes from analyses of immunoprecipitates obtained by allowing Complex I or solubilized submitochondrial particles to react with antisera directed against the whole enzyme and a subfragment of the enzyme.

AbstractTwo-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2DE) separating proteins on the basis of their pI and molecular mass remain the best available technique for protein separation and characterization to date. But due to several limitations, including streak formation in IEF gels, partial solubility of proteins, expensive running conditions and relatively longer time taken, a simple urea-SDS-2D polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (US2DE) is described here. The system is reasonably sensitive, cost effective with good reproducibility. The method described in this paper employs a chaotropic agent, urea, in the first dimension and sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS), like conventional system, in the second dimension with an addition of polyacrylamide to screen the liver proteome of healthy and chemically induced fibrotic rats. The system separates the protein on the basis of chargeto- mass ratio and clearly demonstrates differential expression in the liver protein repertoire of healthy and fibrotic rats. Moreover, the present system, like other 2D electrophoretic procedures revealed at least 22 novel spots in the investigated tissues. The technique may be utilized for comprehensive proteome screening of any biological sample and would provide an overview to narrow down the candidate proteins or biomarkers.
